| Description: | Miscellaneous Paper Abstract: Two structural concepts, a tunnel and an igloo, were constructed at the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station using a shock-attenuating concrete (SACON) to determine the possible sound-abatement properties. Both structures and the SACON displayed sound abatement properties, as registered on hand-held sound level meters, when an M-16-A1 rifle was fired in certain positions in and near the two structures. A noticeable reduction in sound was obtained by the use of the material and configurations of the two structures. |
